Songtexte I Fly - Carrie Newcomer

The women from the PTA whisper
They sideways glance when I walk by
They say look how far she's fallen
And ain't it just appalling
While they gossip grocery line

But a woman's gotta do
What a woman's gotta do
Cause there's always rent to pay
And when your kids need new shoes
There's nothin' left to do
But to put your pride away

But I
I fly over this town
When the skies bleed
And the bars all close down
And I still hope and I pray
For something someday

I tried cleaning houses
And working at the dollar mart
But to see my baby boys go hungry
Very nearly broke my heart

And i'm not cheap and I'm not easy
I'm just parading my groceries
And I can handle calls and stares
For just a few more years
'Til no one wants to look at me

But I
I fly over this town
When the skies bleeds
And the bars all close down
And I still hope and I pray
For something someday

I like to here after workin
For some kindness and a cup of joe
And the waitress is always nice to me
Even though I think she knows

She always asks me how I'm doin
If my kids caught that awful flu
Once she put her hand on my hand
And said
Honey you just do what you gotta do

But I
I fly over this town
When the skies bleed
And the bars all close down
And I still hope and I pray
For something someday
